A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 363 - 281: Asking for Advice_1
Chapter 363: Chapter 281: Asking for Advice_1
“So… what will it be this time?”
Back in his own room, Duanmu Huai rubbed his hands together, staring at the random gift box in the system before him. After all, as a player, he still found great enjoyment in the game of opening blind boxes.
However, Duanmu Huai also knew that the reviews for this mission weren’t high, so the chance of getting good items from the random gift box was also not very high. But… it wasn’t entirely zero!
Well, let’s open the box!
Duanmu Huai reached out and opened the gift box.
Then……
[Obtained Spell Card – Resurrection of Skeleton]
[Resurrection of Skeleton (Bronze)]
[Summoning of the Dead: 2]
[Magic Booster 5: Summoning of the Dead uplifted to 7]
“Eh… not bad?”
Looking at the bronze spell card before him, Duanmu Huai scratched his head. He didn’t feel too disappointed. This was a grave-digging card that could dig up cards up to level 7. At least this way, the girls by his side were not afraid to die. Duanmu Huai was currently lacking a means of grave-digging. Although this [Resurrection of Skeleton] was a bit troublesome, using it as insurance was a pretty good choice.
Although it was not a surprise, it filled a gap in Duanmu Huai’s deck of cards.
After all, the mission review was average, Duanmu Huai did not expect to get any super god cards. This unexpected acquisition of the grave-digging card was a pleasant surprise for him.
So you see, this is the essence of playing the card draw. As long as you maintain a very calm attitude and keep your expectations very low, you won’t feel depressed if you draw a bad item, and if you draw a good one, it’s an unexpected joy. Isn’t that nice?
Therefore, Duanmu Huai satisfiedly collected the card and planned to go to bed.
After all, he still has a lot to do next.
Duanmu Huai went to bed, but other people still had things to do.
For example… Sherry.
After deciding to stay at the Tribunal, Duanmu Huai naturally arranged a guest room for Sherry. Nothing else to say, the luxury level of this room is comparable to a five-star hotel. Not to mention that even a five-star hotel would not offer a view of stars and planets directly from the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Truthfully, up until now, Sherry was still somewhat uneasy. Although she had written to Chris and Claire, she was still new to this place and didn’t know what the situation was like in the Tribunal. Could she, as a new employee, get along well with the veterans here?
“Knock, knock, knock.”
Just then, suddenly, knocking sound echoed through the room. This puzzled Sherry.
Who could it be, knocking so late at night? Could it be Uncle Tall?
With these doubts in mind, Sherry walked to the door and opened it.
“Hey, good evening. You’re still awake?”
Then, she saw a brown-haired girl outside, grinning and greeting her.
“Ah, you’re… Miss Ann, right?”
Seeing the girl in front of her, Sherry paused before remembering her name. Earlier, Duanmu Huai had introduced the other girls to her. If she remembered correctly, according to Uncle Tall, this girl was the princess of a certain Magic Kingdom.
“Yes, it’s me. I’m sorry for disturbing you so late, but could I ask you some questions?”
“Ask me???”
Upon hearing Ann’s question, Sherry was confused, but she quickly nodded.
“Of course not, please come in.”
“Great, Greiya, come on, everyone come in!”
Upon hearing Sherry’s reply, Ann happily sighed in relief, and then cheerfully beckoned to the others behind her. Sherry saw several girls following Ann into her room.
“Uh……”
It has to be said, seeing this situation, Sherry was indeed baffled and clueless about what was happening. In addition to Ann, she also saw two girls with long, lizard-like tails. Sherry remembered they seem to belong to a tribe of Dragonkin – the redhead was Greiya, the white-haired was Felin. And there was Ogis, the girl who always followed Duanmu Huai around and looked like a delicately crafted doll; Audrey, who had been caring for her and Rebecca’s daily life, bringing meals and running errands for them; and even Witch Lani, who had four arms and looked like she walked out from a horror movie……
“Um… what brings all of you here this late?”
Seeing all the girls visiting her room in the evening, Sherry was a bit panicky and also a bit nervous.
Ann, however, was grinning cheerily at Sherry, and then spoke.
“Miss Sherry, you are very adept at biological chemistry, aren’t you?”
“Well, compared to the professor, I’m still far from proficient…”
“Well, the reason we came to find you is exactly to seek your advice in this area, as we are completely baffled by it.”
“Ah… I see.”
Hearing Ann’s explanation, Sherry finally let out a sigh of relief. Indeed, if she remembered correctly, nobody amongst these girls was knowledgeable about biochemical sciences – the reason they had for being interested in her, Sherry supposed she had found it.
“No problem.”
As she spoke, Sherry instructed everyone to take a seat while Audrey skillfully prepared a pot of tea for everyone. After that, Sherry took a seat as well.
“So, Miss Ann, what kind of information would you like to know?”
In Sherry’s view, these young girls probably wanted her to help them enlighten on some matters. If it was only basic knowledge, she was quite confident.
“It’s this!”
Whilst saying so, Ann handed Sherry a book.
“I’ve read this book, but I still don’t completely understand it. If possible, could you please explain it, Miss Sherry?”
“Ah, of course, there’s no issue, let me take a look…”
Sherry nonchalantly reached out her hand to take the book from Ann and flip it open. Then…. she froze on the spot.
“……”
“What’s the matter, Miss Sherry? Don’t you understand too?”
Seeing Sherry’s reaction, Ann tilted her head curiously. Sherry looked up at everyone, then down at the book she was holding: “Reproductive Health Basic Reader for Men and Women”…
“No, this… I mean….”
Looking at the book in her hands, Sherry broke out into a cold sweat. She hadn’t expected her first time enlightening someone would present such a big hurdle!
“Although everyone knows how children are born, we still don’t understand how it works internally. We’ve read it, but we still don’t understand this field of knowledge. Since you’re an expert in biochemical science, Miss Sherry, you should be quite clear on this.”
Looking at Ann’s twinkling eyes, Sherry was at a loss for words.
What’s worse, it seemed Ann wasn’t the only one interested in this. Greiya was blushing, burying her head behind Ann’s back, but she was still sneakily observing the scene. Ogis was just sitting there, expressionless as usual, it was unclear what she was thinking.
On the other hand, Felin was indifferent, silently picking up a tablet and started video streaming. Audrey was also blushing slightly, standing silent on the side. Lani had put her hands together, posing as if she was doing a paper review.
To Sherry right now, this didn’t feel like enlightening, but more like a presentation for a graduation paper…
But I wouldn’t write about this for my graduation paper!
Sherry was on the verge of despair. She was, after all, an outstanding talent in life science and although she wasn’t as famous as Professor Rebecca, she did have some recognition. And now, she had to do this…
“Miss Sherry? You don’t understand too?”
Sensing Sherry’s hesitation, Ann tilted her head curiously. Sherry cleared her throat. She could she didn’t understand to get through this, but… she, just arrived at the Tribunal, was hoping to get along well with the others.
So, she braved herself and nodded.
“Not a problem.”
As long as it is treated like a lecture, it should be fine…
At this moment, Sherry’s heart… was filled with despair.
Soon, the night passed.
When Duanmu Huai came out of his room, he found some subtle changes.
The way several people looked at him… seemed somewhat odd?
Ogis was staring at him, not saying a word, while Greiya dared not look at Duanmu Huai at all. She turned her blushing face away everytime she met his gaze. Audrey was also unusually blushful, her gaze shifting uneasily.
“What’s the matter with you all?”
Duanmu Huai looked at Ogis with confusion and asked, but Ogis just shook her head, without uttering a word.

“????”
Before Duanmu Huai could figure out what was going on, he saw Ann approaching. The girl extended her hand, as if comparing their heights and did the same on herself.
“What are you doing? Comparing our heights?”
Looking at Ann’s actions, Duanmu Huai was confused. Although Princess has caused some troubles before, this time, he found her actions a bit weird– normal people wouldn’t compare their height with others, was she considering him like a tree?
“Hehe, it’s nothing, I just wanted to compare.”
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s question, Ann giggled, then turned and ran.
“…….???”
Seeing Ann running off with Greiya not far away, Duanmu Huai was puzzled.
Forget about it, even though he didn’t know what the girls were up to, he had more important things to do.
Upon reaching the Tactical Control Room, Duanmu Huai opened the star map. He left this planet temporarily for the inhabitants to recover. He only left a few people symbolically for custody and management. Anyway, with the internet, returning would be a blink of an eye.
The next place Duanmu Huai was going to was the cosmic battlefield, where most players had their first interstellar battle. Naturally, Duanmu Huai was very familiar with this place.
“Mia.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Open the internet, connect to Region Z14.”
Duanmu Huai said while staring at the internet.
“Destination: Proxima Star.”
